Second Site

[sohtnax]

In my existing office space, I have a Windows 200 domain with 2 domain controllers. I will be adding a second office to be connected via a point to point T1 and would like to share resources accross both buildings.

How do I go about setting up AD at that second site? Do I simply add another domain controller at the new site? Do I create a second domain or site?

Hi.

With a connection like that all you really need to do is put the DC in your current domain and then create another site in AD for that DC. Unless you have some specific needs there is no reason to do a child domain.

Good luck to you!

yep: just configure a new site, and your subnets to the right sites, and you're away.

make sure replication can occur (firewall etc)

if its not broken, fix it anyway - with luck you might break it and have an excuse
